5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling Diamonds, July 6, 2005
This review is from: Diamond Quilts & Beyond: From the Basics to Dazzling Designs (Paperback)
Diamond shapes in many sizes and configurations dazzle the eye in this instructional quilt book by Jan Krentz. The directions, hints and tips for making a striking quilt with diamonds are easy to understand with Jan's detailed descriptions and photos. The gallery quilts are stunning and inspiring, and make you want to rush to the sewing room to start one of your own.

5.0 out of 5 stars As much a Reference Book as a Project Book!, July 6, 2005
This review is from: Diamond Quilts & Beyond: From the Basics to Dazzling Designs (Paperback)
The Diammond Quilts & Beyond book has so much information that I've already re-read it three times. The project directions are well written and thorough. But the concept really inspires me to design an original diamond quilt - the "Beyond" in the title!

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiriting collection, September 6, 2005
This review is from: Diamond Quilts & Beyond: From the Basics to Dazzling Designs (Paperback)
Jan Krentz's Diamond Quilts & Beyond: From The Basics To Dazzling Designs tells how to turn a quilt literally into a work of art, using Impressionist painting inspirations to translate to fabric with diamond patterns. Particularly notable is a gallery of quilts which feature hand-painted and diamond patterns, flowers and figures in diamond quilts, and much more. An inspiriting collection.
